Beijing Bets on Babies: China’s 300‑Yuan Monthly Childcare Subsidy and a >100 Billion‑Yuan Fiscal Push
China has rolled out a 300‑yuan monthly childcare subsidy for children born after Jan. 1, 2022 — worth 10,800 yuan over three years — and has dispatched payments to roughly 33 million households. Combined central and local spending on the program has exceeded 1,000 billion yuan, and Beijing pairs the cash transfers with expanded childcare slots, leave policy adjustments and planned legislation to embed family support into the institutional framework.
Beijing Turns to Long-Term Debt and Family Subsidies to Repair Growth — Markets and Tech Watch Closely
Beijing plans to issue large volumes of ultra-long special sovereign bonds in 2026 to support major projects, shore up state banks and give local governments funding room, while lawmakers propose big increases in childcare subsidies financed by long-term bonds.

Authorities combined a universal childcare cash subsidy with accelerated bond-financed projects to boost demand while maintaining targeted social and scientific spending.
China’s Treasury Benefits from Market Turnover as Stamp Tax Surges 57.8% in 2025
China’s Treasury recorded a 57.8% jump in securities transaction stamp tax to 2,035 billion yuan in 2025, reflecting stronger market turnover, while overall general public budget revenue fell 1.7% to 21.6 trillion yuan. Tax receipts rose only modestly and non‑tax income declined due to a 2024 one‑off, even as childcare subsidies have reached more than 30 million infants and remaining payments are to be completed by March 2026.
